It is complementary to GERT8075, which sets out requirements for technical compatibility of the AWS and TPWS trackside subsystems with the AWS / TPWS onboard subsystems. 1.1.2 Conformity with the requirements in this document can be used by infrastructure managers (IMs) and railway undertakings (RUs) in discharging their obligations under the Railway Safety Regulations 1999 (RSR 99). 1.1.3 Document ERA/TD/2011-11 List of Class B Systems, published by the European Union Agency for Railways (EUAR), records that ‘TPWS’ is a UK Class B system applicable to the whole network. In this context, ‘TPWS’ includes AWS. 1.1.4 The Control Command and Signalling Technical Specification for Interoperability (CCS TSI) section 3.1 states that ‘The requirements for Class B systems are the responsibility of the relevant Member State’. This Rail Industry Standard, together with Railway Group Standard GERT8075, fulfils that responsibility by setting out the GB industry agreed requirements for ‘TPWS’ on the GB mainline railway. 1.1.5 This document includes the TPWS Driver-Machine Interface (DMI) requirements, which have been developed to control the risk of a driver incorrectly resetting the TPWS and restarting the train after a train protection system intervention. This is sometimes referred to as ‘TPWS reset and go risk’. These requirements support the design of a TPWS DMI which will provide operational functionality consistent with the requirements set out in the Rule Book GERT8000 and the supporting handbook RS522 that all GB mainline train operators have collectively agreed to mandate on themselves. 1.1.6 The requirements in RIS-0775-CCS are available to both suppliers and train operators as widely accepted codes of practice which can be used as a means of applying the CSM RA risk acceptance principles to the hazards of a train passing the end of a signalled movement authority and a train exceeding the permissible speed, in order to control collision risk and derailment risk.

  • Keymod™ Vs. M-LOK™ Modular Rail System Comparison
    CAPT JT Elder Commanding Officer NSWC Crane KeyMod™ vs. M-LOK™ Modular Rail System Comparison Dr. Brett Seidle, SES Abstract #19427 Technical Director NSWC Crane Presented By: Caleb McGee Date: 4 May 2017 Distribution Statement A – approved for public release; distribution unlimited Background History • The MIL-STD-1913 Accessory Mounting Rail was standardized in 1995. • MIL-STD-1913 Quad-rail Handguards currently in use. – MK18 Mod 1 Carbine. – Upper Receiver Group (URG). • Industry developed, low profile handguards with “as needed” accessory mounting panels. – Rail panels can be positioned using holes machined into the handguard. Distribution Statement A – approved for public release; distribution unlimited Background KeyMod™ • Originated by VLTOR Weapon Systems and released in 2012. • Developed as a standardized accessory mount platform. • Supports direct mounting of accessories and 1913 accessory rail sections. • Current civilian market moving towards direct mounting of accessories. • KeyMod™ accessories interface with KeyMod™ handguards by: – Inserting mounting nuts of accessory through the large portion of the KeyMod™ slot. – Sliding the accessory fully forward in smaller front portion of key shaped slot. – Tightening accessory bolts to secure in place. Distribution Statement A – approved for public release; distribution unlimited Background M-LOK™ • Originated and released by MAGPUL in early 2015. • MAGPUL cites improved performance in polymer accessories using M-LOK™. • Allows for mounting of accessory rails to low-profile handguard designs. • Functions by passing mounting T-nuts on an accessory through the slots in the handguard. • Tightening the accessory bolts rotates the T-nuts to rotate 90° and lock, allowing the bolts to be torqued. Distribution Statement A – approved for public release; distribution unlimited Overview Objectives • Qualitative and quantitative comparisons of both the KeyMod™ and M-LOK™ accessory mounting systems.

  • Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe
    Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe Version 3 December 2017 This publication was prepared by Oleh Shchuryk, Research & Projects Manager, ECG – the Association of European Vehicle Logistics. Foreword The project to produce this book on ‘Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe’ was initiated during the ECG Land Transport Working Group meeting in January 2014, Frankfurt am Main. Initially, it was suggested by the members of the group that Oleh Shchuryk prepares a short briefing paper about the current status quo of rail transport and FVLs by rail in Europe. It was to be a concise document explaining the complex nature of rail, its difficulties and challenges, main players, and their roles and responsibilities to be used by ECG’s members. However, it rapidly grew way beyond these simple objectives as you will see. The first draft of the project was presented at the following Land Transport WG meeting which took place in May 2014, Frankfurt am Main. It received further support from the group and in order to gain more knowledge on specific rail technical issues it was decided that ECG should organise site visits with rail technical experts of ECG member companies at their railway operations sites. These were held with DB Schenker Rail Automotive in Frankfurt am Main, BLG Automotive in Bremerhaven, ARS Altmann in Wolnzach, and STVA in Valenton and Paris. As a result of these collaborations, and continuous research on various rail issues, the document was extensively enlarged. The document consists of several parts, namely a historical section that covers railway development in Europe and specific EU countries; a technical section that discusses the different technical issues of the railway (gauges, electrification, controlling and signalling systems, etc.); a section on the liberalisation process in Europe; a section on the key rail players, and a section on logistics services provided by rail.

Preface The purpose of a Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) investigation is to improve railway safety by preventing future railway accidents or by mitigating their consequences. It is not the purpose of such an investigation to establish blame or liability. Accordingly, it is inappropriate that RAIB reports should be used to assign fault or blame, or determine liability, since neither the investigation nor the reporting process has been undertaken for that purpose.
